Obbsessive Lists: Part One

Hello all! Today I have decided to write some lists. I'm starting to realize how obsessed I am with things [writing, Harry Potter & other books, KT Tunstall just to name a few :) ] so I decided to list some things that may prove you to be obsessive with things. Now can anyone give a guess as to what todays list will be focused on. *My friend/vent/reader Jen raises her hand* 'Jen?' "Is it going to be about obsessions with how your wall looks?" I look at her strangely. 'Do you have an obsession with walls?' *Jen looks scared like I just revealed an enormous secret* 'no today the list will be about obsessions with writing my dear, insane friend' (A/N: Okay like this never happened and she doesn't have an obsession with walls. P. S. to Jen: If you do have an obsession with walls please tell me so I can edit this A/N :D)

Oceansurferg proudly presents The Marauders Map. *Jen coughs* I mean Obsessive writers list.

1. Every new situation encountered you picture your current favorite character from your stories and how they would react.
2. You've skived off doing things you should be doing so you can write.*
3. You send your stories to anyone and everyone you can find.*
4. Or perhaps you don't want your works to be stolen that you've copyrighted everything and won't let anyone see it. (A/N I feel sorry for whoever this applies to. Sharing your work with friends - or at least one perhaps a close friend/editor - is a great experience and is what writing is about.)
5. You often carry a spiral around that you fill with your plot bunnies.*
6. You start to carry the traits of a character you write about. (Please note, I don't mean that a character takes after you.)
7. You think that you are the next J.K. Rowling, even though you've yet to finish a story.
8. You go to http://www.behindthename.com/ to find the perfect names for your character. (Could also be an alike website)*
9. You finished a novel in a year or less and are currently trying to find an agent.
10. You are so persistent in trying to find an agent that even though 83 have turned you down. You simply will not let the character die. (A/N This is probably very unrealistic as I'm not that sure that Agents turn people down. Hmm perhaps with a lower number you could say publishers...)
11. You use http://www.reference.com/ at least once a day that you write, to make sure you are using the word you were thinking of.*
12. You are writing list such as this one because you feel that you know the subject like an expert.*

Okay so this was the first list. If you leave comments on list ideas I might edit this post and add a readers list. Oh and the stars mean that this is a trait of my own. Hehe I got 6/12 so lets say that if you get 4/12 or up you are an obsessive writer.

Your bloging servant,

P.S. I added the Xmas coloring at the last moment. Well technically the red as green is a regular color.
